I 6 Claims. (Cl; 310-168) This invention relates to an improved apparatus for measuring and indicating the rotational speed of a driven ,7
shaft. I I
i It is known in the prior art to provide shaft speed-indicating devicesof the type having stationary signal-generating means cooperating with an element secured to the shaft for producing visible, audible, or electric signals Which are indicative of shaft speed. In one known elec- .trical embodiment, a ferromagnetic rotor element pro- .vided. ,with a circumferential I series 1 of uniformly-spaced teeth is rigidly secured to the shaft for rotation relatively .to a stationary magnetic pick-up head. The pick-up head includes a ferromagnetic core upon which is wound an electrical coil. The flux changes whichare produced in the core'by the passage of the. rotor teethgenerate in the ,coil electrical pulses having a frequencyldependent both upon the number of teeth and the speed of rotation of the .shaft.
I A major drawback of the known shaft speed measuring :devices resides in the fact that for very low shaft speeds .thegenerated signals are not sharply defined, and consequently, detection of the signals and accurate measuring .of the shaft speed are rendered most diificult. In the ferromagneticrotor. embodiment, for example, at low shaft speeds the rateof flux change in the iron core is relatively low, and'since the voltage generated in the coil is directly proportional to the rate of fluxchange, the amplitudes of the. signals are very'small- The object of the present invention is to provide an im- I proved apparatus for measuring, the relative speed of movement between two elements arranged for travel past eachother, one of said elements carrying energizing means and .the other of said elements carrying signal-generating means operable by said energizing means to. produce a signal having a property which varies as a function of the rate of movement between the means. According to the invention; at least one of-the twomeans mentionedabove is connected With its supporting element by a lost-motion coupling; and magneticme'ans areprovided which oper- -..ate, when the two supporting elements are moving toward each other at a low'rate of speed,.to, cause at least one ofthe two; means, to accelerate momentarily to. produce i an instantaneous relativespeed between the two means Iwhichexceeds the 'relativesp'e'ed of movement between .the two elements. As a, result of this momentary acceleration of therotor and the-resulting increased rateof reaction between the, energizing means and'the signal-gener- I ating means, a s'harper' and more, pronounced signal ,is obtained. Inits broadest sense, the invention relates to devices for measuring the re'lativejspeeds of elements havinglinear or curvilin'earmotion.
' The preferred embodiment of theinvention relates to a device of the electrical type for measuring the speed of rotation of a rotating shaft. This embodiment includes a rotorloosely coupled with the shaft fornormal simultaneous movement therewith, said rotor being formed of a non-magnetic material and carrying, adjacent its outer periphery, at least one. ferromagnetic bar. 1 Stationary 3,134,918 Patented May 26, 1 964;

the coil which is detected by conventional'electrical indicating means connected thereto. The permanent magnet of the pick-up head is specifically designed to apply to the ferromagnetic member a force of. magnetic attraction Which causes the rotor to be momentarly accelerated to an instantaneous speed which is graeter than the rotational speed ofthe shaft as the ferromagnetic member approaches the pick-up means. In this manner, the rate of flux change is increased to generate pulses of magnified amplitude and sharpness.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will become more apparent from a study of the following specification when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, in which: 1
FIG. 1 is a plan view of the shaft speed measuring apparatus.
FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line 22 of FIG. 1.
device using another coupling rod embodiment.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a driven shaft Sis jour- .nalled in bearing means (not shown) for rotation relatively to the stationary magnetic pick-up head 6 of the shaft speed indicating device 7. The shaft 5 has an end portion 5a of reduced diameter upon which is loosely mounted an annular rotor 8 formed of a non-magnetic material, such as one of the light-weight synthetic plastics (polyethylene, for example). The diameter of the bore of rotor Sis slightly greater than that of shaft portion 5a .80 that the rotor turns freely on the shaft. Embedded in the outer periphery of the rotor parallel with the axis of shaftS are a plurality of uniformly-spaced ferromagnetic bars 9. The rotor 8 is loosely coupled with the shaft 5 by means of the metal rod 11. Rod 11, at one end, extends through the transverse opening 5b in the shaft portion 5a and, atthe otherend, is bent at a right angle to form an arm portion which extends into the recess 8a in the adjacent end face of rotor 8. Opening 5b and are slightly oversize to permit a small degree of play between the elements.
The. stationary magnetic pick-up head 6 is arranged adjacent the outer periphery of the rotor and includes a permanent magnet core 12 (formed of .Alnico 5, for example) upon which .is wound an insulated electrical coil -13. Coil 13 is connected with the detecting and'indicating means 7 view conductors 14 and 15. The detecting and indicating means 7 are conventional and serve to produce a voltage the magnitude of which is proportional to the number. of pulses generated in coil. 13 per unit time. The
value of this voltage is a direct function of therotational speed of the shaft and indicated by conventional readout means.
,In operation, the driven shaft 5 is connected, either directly or through suitable transmission means, with, a
rotating driving'element (for example, the fluid-driven shaft of "ananemometery Assuming that the shaft-5. is in an initial state of rest and that a counterclockwise driving torque is applied thereto (as indicated: by t-hearrow in FIG. 1), then-as the shaft turns througha small angle 0 in the counterclockwise direction, the. rotor 8,.owing to its inertia and to-the forces of magnetic attraction described below, is maintained momentarily in itsinitial state of repose and the-rod 11 pivots, in the-oversized bores 5b and 8a, toward an endpositionof its lost-motion degree of travel. When the rod 11 reaches this end positlon, the driving force of the shaft is transmitted ,directly to the rotor, and further rotation of the shaft effects simultaneous rotation of the rotor through the rod. The rotor now lags behind the shaft by the angle 0.
Assuming that the shaft 5 is driven at a very low rate of speed, that the mass of rotor 8 is relatively low, and that the magnetic force of attraction between the permanent magnet 12 and each of the rotor bars 9 is very high, then as the shaft 5 rotates to a position in which a given bar 9 just enters the field of the stationary magnet 12 the bar is magnetically attracted toward the magnet with such a force that the rotor 8 is caused to accelerate on the shaft 5 (as permitted by the loose coupling) and to obtain an instantaneous speed which is greater than the speed of rotation of the shaft. The lag angle decreases to zero and bar 9, which is now traveling at a relatively high rate of speed, effects a rapid change of flux in magnet 12 to generate a sharply-defined pulse of large amplitude in coil 13. The improved operation resulting from the use of the lost-motion coupling in combination with the force of magnetic attraction may be illustrated with reference to FIG. 3 wherein the dashed line shows the low-peak pulse waveform which would be obtained for a given speed of rotation when the rotor is rigidly secured to the shaft and the magnetic attracting means are omitted, and the solid line illustrates the improved high-peak pulse waveform obtained as a result of the present invention.
The momentum imparted to the rotor 8 by the force of magnetic attraction may cause the rotor to lead the shaft momentarily as a given bar passes the pick-up head. However, as the shaft continues to turn in the counterclockwise direction, the force of magnetic attraction between the given bar 9 and the magnet 12 causes the rotor to lag again behind the shaft by the lag angle 6. The momentary acceleration of the rotor described above is repeated each time a rotor bar 9 is moved within the field of the permanent magnet 12.
For relatively high rotational speeds of the shaft 5 producing peripheral rotor speeds equal to or greater than the speed at which a given rotor bar is attracted to the permanent magnet, the force of magnetic attraction has no effect on the rotor, and consequently, the rotor continuously lags behind the shaft by the constant lag angle 0. A flux change is effected in magnet 12 each time a bar 9 passes thereby, and since the bars are travelling at a high rate of speed, the generated pulses have large amplitud'es and are readily detected, integrated and indicated by the indicating device 7.
Referring to FIG. 4, the coupling rod 11' may be provided with a second arm portion 11a which is horizontal and normal to the plane containing the body portion of the rod and the arm portion which extends downward into the oversize recess in the upper surface of the rotor. The weight of this second arm portion 11a assists in initiating the snap movement of the rotor as a bar 9 just enters the magnetic field of the magnet during low speed rotation of the shaft.
Although the loose coupling has been illustrated and described as being a rod supported loosely in oversized bores, the use of a resilient spring, flexible coupling, or other lost-motion coupling device is not excluded.
While the presently preferred embodiment of the invention has been illustrated and described in the accompanying specification and drawing, it is apparent that other changes may be made in the apparatus described without deviating from the invention set forth in the following claims.
